Strategic planning should... (mouse over)
- ...tap organizational knowledge. Harness collective brainpower.
- ...provide clear direction. Where to go? How best to get there?
- ...uncover & address core issues. Go beyond putting out fires.
- ...be convenient. Cut down on meetings. Contribute according to your schedule.
- ...encourage taking ownership. Wide buy-in => solid execution => strong results.
- ...evaluate progress. Are we there yet? How close? What adjustments are needed?
- ...be affordable. From tens of thousands to millions for a leather-bound report? Not!
